  1. Models are in agreement on a sub 980 surface low tracking over Lake Erie. The current model depiction would bring heavy rain and very windy conditions even well inland. Potential for widesprad 2-4”+ of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50mph will result in a moderate to high threat of power outages, made worse with saturated grounds. Area rivers which have recently experienced flooding will once again be stressed. Rapid snow melt, especially in Northern areas will exacerbate the flooding threat.
  2. The super high res models like the FV3 Hi-Res indicate that accumulatins are very elevation dependent with this system. Even across Rockland which usually does well in these systems could see less than 2” on the Southeast portion near Nyack and over 10” in the hillier areas that border Orange County.
  3. I have nothing new to add that hasn’t already been said. Steep gradient that should run East of the GSP (Spring Valley/Montvale) and South of 287/87 in Rockland and Westchester. The difference beteeen Yorktown and Yonkers could be over 6”. Places like West Milford and Warwick with some elevation will be near a foot or more. This is a 5-6 hour quick dump unless the secondary system works out for Sunday. My current thought is whatever falls Sunday morning will be light and not impact totals much.
  4. One thing I can tell you about the 18z 3k NAM is that it indicates about a 6 hour period in NYC and surrounding areas of moderate to heavy snow Saturday night before any mixing issues. Even at 04z NYC is at 33 degrees but soundings show the column below freezing so it would still be snow. After 05z there’s a warm nose around 750mb which would cause sleet to mix in.
  5. Sunday is going to be a nowcasting event and has tremendous bust chances in both directions. Even if it worked out verbatim like the GFS/NAM show it’s still going to come down to exactly where and when the band pivots. We shall see if confidence increases the next two days. Still lots of time to go.
  6. If you’re looking for more than a sloppy couple of inches we will need stronger dynamics to help cool the BL. Still you’re looking at 33-34 degrees in the city during peak intensity. The better hope is that Sunday materializes.
